They don't teach kids these things in school.

If I were a teacher and I caught kids passing notes, I'd mark 'em up with a red pen and make them correct the notes .

I don't think that kids know when to use what type of language. They don't understand the concept of "code switching". Do any of you who teach see "cuz" and "u" and such on papers and written portions of claswork?
